Key talking points

#RussiaUS

• We would like to have normal relations with all countries especially with the United States. We don't see any reason why Russia and the United States cannot cooperate for the sake of the universe.

• The Ukrainians would not be able to do what they're doing with long-range modern weapons without direct participation of the American servicemen. We don't want to aggravate the situation, but since ATACMS and other long-range weapons are being used against mainland Russia as it were, we are sending signals. <...>

[The US and its allies] must understand that we would be ready to use any means not to allow them to succeed in what they call strategic defeat of Russia. They fight for keeping the hegemony over the world on any country, any region, any continent. We fight for our legitimate security interests.

• We don't want to aggravate the situation, but since ATACMS and other long-range weapons are being used against mainland Russia, we are sending signals. We hope that the last one, a couple of weeks ago, the signal with the new weapon system called #Oreshnik was taken seriously.

• When the United States and other Western countries recognized unilateral declaration of independence of Kosovo, they said this is the self-determination being implemented. There was no referendum in Kosovo — unilateral declaration of independence. <...> And when a few years later, Crimeans were holding referendum with invitation of many international observers, not from international organizations, but from parliamentarians in Europe, in Asia, in post-Soviet space, they said that they cannot accept this because this is violation of territorial integrity 🤷‍♂️

The UN Charter is not a menu. You have to respect it in all its entirety 👉 #UNCharterIsOurRules

• I think [Donald Trump] is a very strong person. A person who wants results. Who doesn't like procrastination on anything. But this does not mean that he's pro-Russian as some people try to present him. The amount of sanctions we received under the Trump administration was very big.

#Ukraine

• We strongly prefer peaceful solution through negotiations on the basis of respecting legitimate security interest of Russia, and on the basis of respecting the people who live in Ukraine, who still live in Ukraine being Russians. <...>

No military bases, no military exercises on the Ukrainian soil with participation of foreign troops. <...> We cannot tolerate a deal which would keep the legislation which are prohibiting Russian language, Russian media, Russian culture, Ukrainian Orthodox Church, because it is a violation of the obligations of Ukraine under the UN Charter.

• We are not talking about exterminating anybody's population. We don't have any intention to exterminate Ukrainian people. They are brothers and sisters to the Russian people.

• It is becoming clear that there is a fatigue in some capitals, and there are talks every now and then that the Americans would like to leave [Ukraine] with the Europeans and to concentrate on something more important.

#Syria

• The Americans in the east of Syria groom some Kurdish separatists using the profits from oil and grain sold, the resources which they occupy. <...> The information [on who's backing Islamist groups] which is being floated and it's in the public domain mentions among others the Americans, the Brits. Some people say that Israel is interested in making this situation aggravate. So that Gaza is not under very close scrutiny.

President Joe Biden recently authorized Ukraine to use U.S. missiles to strike inside mainland Russia, risking nuclear war. How will Russia respond? Tucker Carlson returns to Moscow to interview Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and uncover just how close we are to global war.

“They must understand that we would be ready to use any means not to allow them to succeed in what they call a strategic defeat of Russia.”

Thousands Flee Syria's Homs As HTS-Led Extremists Advance On City

The Syrian army says it has established 'stable defensive positions' around the strategic central Syrian city

Tens of thousands of people are fleeing in fear from Homs, Syria's third largest city, as foreign-backed armed extremists continue to advance south from the town of Hama.

The joint operations center for Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a UN-designated terrorist organization and offshoot of Al-Qaeda which has long enjoyed US, Qatari, Turkish, and Israeli support, announced its militants have taken two towns, Rastan and Talbisseh, along the strategic M5 highway and are now within five kilometers of Homs...

The SOHR said Russian warplanes had bombed a bridge in Rastan to block the extremists' advance.

On 27 November, militants from US, Turkish, and Israeli-backed HTS and the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) launched a lighting attack on Aleppo and its countryside. They seized Aleppo, Syria's second-largest city, three days later, on 30 November, largely without a fight.

Syria's army regrouped to the south to protect the city of Hama but once again withdrew after a brief battle in which the extremists employed large numbers of Ukrainian-supplied drones.

The Syrian army said on 5 December that it “repositioned” and “redeployed” its forces outside the city of Hama to “preserve the lives” of civilians and not expose them to battles. HTS-led factions were able on Thursday to storm several areas in Hama city’s northeastern neighborhoods.

HTS militants successfully took control of most of Hama on 5 December.
